The Schwarzwälder Edelbrennerei Fies has been in operation since 1948, crafting a variety of fruit brandies using traditional methods. Among their renowned products is the Williams pear brandy, which utilizes plump, flavorful pears that are highly sought after by distilleries due to their juicy and fragrant nature. These desirable pears originate from the Alpine regions and have greatly influenced local spirits. Fies' Williams pear brandy is particularly notable for its smooth and well-balanced taste, highlighted by the intense aromas of the Williams pear. Its fruity and robust flavor makes it an excellent choice as a digestive, and it is especially enjoyable when consumed neat or gently warmed, or served over ice.
